ENTRE A BIBLIOTECONOMIA E O TRABALHO SOCIAL





In choosing librarianship over teaching or social work, Effie Lee Morris combined her desire to help people with a personal passion for education.  In doing so she became one of America’s leading advocates for services to children, minorities, and the visually-impaired.  Born in Richmond, Virginia on April 20, 1921, Morris spent her youth in Cleveland, Ohio.  She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in 1945, Bachelor of Library Science in 1946, and Master's in Library Science in 1956 all from Western Reserve University (now Case Western Reserve University).  
Morris began work in 1946 at the Cleveland Public Library and established the first Negro History Week celebration for children there.  In 1955, she moved to New York as a children’s branch librarian in the Bronx.  Three years later, in 1958, she pioneered the development of library services for blind children.  She later served as president of the National Braille Club from 1961 to 1963.  
In 1963, Morris joined the San Francisco Public Library (SFPL) as its first children’s services coordinator.  A year later, she created the library’s Effie Lee Morris Historical and Research Collection for out-of-print children’s books, featuring titles that depict the changing portrayals of ethnic and minority groups during the 20th Century.  She remained at SFPL for 15 years and then served as editor of children's books at Harcourt Brace Jovanovich from 1978 to 1979.    
Active in the American Library Association (ALA) since 1949, Morris chaired the Social Responsibilities Round Table and was an early supporter and chairman of the Coretta Scott King Award in Children's Literature.  From 1971 to 1972 she was the first African American President of the Public Library Association.  In 2008, Morris was elected to honorary membership in the American Library Association, the organization’s highest honor, given to a living member of the Association who has made significant contributions to the field on librarianship. Morris was given the honorary membership “in recognition for her vision, advocacy and legacy to children’s services in public libraries.”  Effie Lee Morris died at her home in San Francisco in 2009. 



BIBLIOTECÁRIA, ATRIZ, EDUCADORA ...









Roberta Byrd Barr was an African American educator, civil rights leader, actress, librarian, and television personality. She was a talented, multifaceted personality with a calm presence, thoughtful demeanor, and a darkly melodious voice which served her well in the many roles she played in the Seattle community.  

Barr was a Seattle Public Schools elementary teacher, librarian and administrator.  During the 1966 school boycott when the black community protested the lack of progress toward desegregation, she headed the Freedom School at the YMCA.  In 1968, she was appointed vice principal at Franklin High School, and in 1973 she was appointed principal of Lincoln High School, becoming the first woman in the history of the Seattle Public Schools to head a high school. 

Barr’s acting and television career began in the early 1960s when she starred in the Cirque Theatre production of “Raisin in the Sun.”  On KCTS/Channel 9, she told stories to young children in a show called “Let’s Imagine.”  Later she moderated the program “Face to Face” on King TV from 1965-1970, and from 1971-1972, on KCTS/9.  The program featured guest speakers talking about controversial topics such as desegregation and welfare.  Barr awakened the community to civil rights issues and other important topics overlooked in the media. She acted as a bridge between the black and white communities.   Her picture hangs in the Douglas-Truth Public Library where her efforts, through her sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha, helped promote the development of the African American Collection.

O PRIMEIRO NEGRO A SE FORMAR EM HARVARD










Richard Theodore Greener, a native of Philadelphia, became the first African American to graduate from Harvard College.  He later served the United States in diplomatic posts in India and Russia.  Greener lived in Boston and Cambridge as a child and entered Harvard in 1865 and received an A.B. degree from the institution in 1870.  After graduation he was appointed principal of the Male Department at Philadelphia’s Institute for Colored Youth which later became Cheyney University.  Three years later Greener became professor of Mental and Moral Philosophy at the University of South Carolina where he also served as librarian and taught Greek, Mathematics and Constitutional Law.  While there Greener entered the Law School and received an LL.B degree in 1876.
Active in the Republican Party, Greener was appointed United States Consul at Bombay, India in 1898 by President William McKinley.  Later that year he was transferred to Vladivostok, Russia, where he served as commercial agent until 1905.  During his term Greener reported to Washington on the construction of the Tran Siberian Railroad, the rapid growth of the European Russian population in the region, the status of the local Jewish population, and the local impact of China’s Boxer Rebellion in 1900. Recognizing Siberia’s growing importance to United States economic interests, Greener called unsuccessfully for the U.S. State Department to establish a consul-general in Vladivostok.  During the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 Greener supervised the evacuation of the Japanese from Sakhalin Island.  In October, 1905 Greener was recalled from Vladivostok.  He retired to Chicago the following year and died there in 1922.

A PRIMEIRA NEGRA PRESIDENTE (A) DA ALA


http://www.blackpast.org/files/blackpast_images/Clara_Stanton_Jones.jpg


Clara Stanton Jones (born May 14, 1913) was the first African American president of American Library Association, serving from 1976 to 1977. She was also appointed the director of the Detroit Public Library (1970–1978), becoming the first African American director of a major city public library in the United States.

Biography

Early life

Clara Stanton Jones was born on May 14, 1913 in St. Louis, Missouri to a close-knit, Catholic family. Her future career and impact in library science almost seemed predestined as she frequented the library at an early age. Jones recalls that she was one of the smallest patrons at the public library near her grandmother's house; she was also among very few black children at that local library. Although Jones had very little interaction with librarians in her young years, she read what interested her and selected her own materials. Her mother, Etta J. Stanton, worked as a school teacher, lecturing at public school systems until her marriage; Since the law did not allow married women to teach in the public school system, she taught in Catholic parochial schools to help support her family, including Clara Jone's endeavor to attend college. Jones' father, Ralph Herbert Stanton, was a manager at the Standard Life Insurance Company. He eventually accepted a position with the Atlanta Life Insurance Company where he worked until his death. Jones grew up in a highly segregated St. Louis neighborhood, but she was not daunted by the assumed, implicit Jim Crow laws; she instead regarded her young life to be privileged with all her primary mentors being African American.

Education

Education and solidarity were heavily emphasized in Jones family; She obtained a well-rounded education even though the St. Louis public school system was completely segregated. She grew up in an entirely African-American world, with black role-models and mentors. In highschool, Jones aspired to become an elementary school teacher, even though her future salary would be slightly below white counterparts. This position would still provide a high standard of living for African Americans at that time because the income gap between white and black teachers was only slight. Jones was the first member of her family to graduate from college. St. Louis was highly segregated, but instead of attending the local, tuition-free teachers college that was designated for black students, Jones attended the Milwaukee State Teacher’s College in 1930; she was inspired by her older brothers’ stories of college life away from home at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Jones was one of only six black students at the college. She transferred to Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, where she majored in English and History and decided to become a librarian instead of a teacher. The president Florence Reed caught notice of Jones' typing skills and offered her a position as a typist with the new Atlanta University Library; the librarians encouraged Jones to pursue a career in librarianship. She was highly receptive to their suggestions as she had already considered this career change. Jones remained in that position until her graduation; she received her Bachelors of Art in 1934 from Spelman and a degree in Library Science in 1938 from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

Career in Library and Information Science

Jones began working in libraries the same year she completed her degree in Library Science. She said that at the beginning of 1938, she worked in libraries at Dillard University, New Orleans, and Southern University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Jones spent the remainder of her librarian career at the Detroit Public Library, retiring in 1978 as the director. She was elected the first black president of the American Library Association after she accepted the position as head of the Detroit Public Library.

The Censorship of Racist and Sexist Library Materials
In May 1977, Clara Stanton Jones, acting as president of the American Library Association, responded to the ALA Intellectual Freedom Committee’s (IFC) recommendation to quash the ALA’s “Resolution on Racism and Sexism Awareness” because its language remained unclear. Her response was published in the American Libraries, the official publication of the ALA. Jones opposed the IFC’s proposal, declaring that the resolution required further adjustments and amendments to the language before the committee considers annulment. The IFC feared that the resolution favored censorship as a means to purge library materials of racist and sexist language, and thereby opposing the Library Bill of Rights pledge to sustain access to information and enlightenment despite content, and encourage libraries to challenge censorship.
The ALA made the decision to deliberate the fate of the resolution and report its results at the 1977 Detroit conference. Jones asserted that the resolution did not conflict with the Library Bill of Rights, and instead promoted awareness by encouraging training and outreach programs in the libraries and library schools. In agreement with the Library Bill of Rights, she advocated for more enlightenment, not repression, to combat the effects of racism and sexism in library materials. Jones viewed the resolution as the framework, and not the final solution, for enabling librarians to confront issues that hampered “human freedom”.
“The spirit of the “Resolution on Racism and Sexism Awareness” is not burdened with repression; it is liberating. If the resolution is imperfect, try to make it perfect, but not by destroying it first!” - Clara Stanton Jones.

 Major Achievements

Jones served as the director for Detroit Public Library from 1970 to 1978, becoming the first African American to head a major public library in the United States.
She served as the first black president of the American Library Association in 1976 to 1977. During her presidency, she heavily aided the ALA adoption of a "Resolution on Racism and Sexism Awareness" to encourage librarians to raise the awareness of library patrons and staff to problems of racism and sexism.
She advocated the passing of the "Resolution on Racism and Sexism Awareness" in 1977 despite the ALA's Intellectual Freedom Committee's recommendation to the ALA Executive Board that the resolution be rescinded.
President Jimi Carter appointed Jones as Commissioner to the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science in 1978. She served this post until 1982.
Jones received the Trailblazer Award in 1990 from the Black Caucus of the ALA, the highest award given by BCALA. The award recognizes individuals whose pioneering contributions have been outstanding and unique, and whose efforts have "blazed a trail" in the profession.
